Produced at Channel One this is a sparse and heavy Dub of Junior
Ried's Oh Happy Day - not the same song as the Gospel sung by
The Edwin Hawkins Singers in 1967. It starts of conventionally enough with a
echo laden burst of Junior Reid's singing then it slowly begins to lose its identity,
with the reintroduction of, what I think is, Junior Reid's voce, which
has reverted to something like him as a child being strangled, the Dub strays very much into Lee Perry
territory reminiscent of his production of Doctor
On The Go, and by the end the cut it has gone beyond even Lee Perry into
pure abstraction. Although it states on the label that it was made in Jamaica, I
doubt it was as it had a push out center and a circle of ribbed plastic around
the outer edge of the label, two things not found in Jamaican records of the
period.
